2012 Chevy Volt cruising into California carpool eligible
Volt + California carpool lane access = priceless
Plus the Volt will qualify for an extra $1500 state tax credit
Can you put a gun rack in the Chevy Volt? You sure can, but who gives a crap. And for the record, saving the US auto industry was really a no-brainer. Sure we can argue until we’re blue in the face about just how exactly the bankruptcy should have been managed, but does it really matter today?
Fricken gasoline prices are more than $4.00 in my neighborhood. This morning I heard that the national average is now expected to be nearly $4.50 by mid-Summer. Instead of arguing about the bailout, isn’t it time to focus on a relevant issue, such as foreign oil dependence? I mean dial a clue. If Republicans want to bark up a tree, why don’t they focus on a legitimate US energy independence plan?
Nevertheless, if you live in California, you now have some extra incentives to end your personal foreign oil dependence: Chevy Volts being delivered today qualify for carpool lane access — and an extra $1500 in state rebates.
I know. Why is California, a state that’s going to have to be bailed out as well, giving money to rich people to buy plug-ins like the Volt?
Seriously, if you live in California and suffer through traffic every day, is that your main concern? Maybe plug-in tax credits aren’t a fiscally prudent move for a state like California, but they could be a prudent way for California Volt buyers to better manage the time spent on their commutes. Besides, if you don’t like the credit don’t apply for it. It’s the carpool lane access you’re really after anyway.
I’m guessing that old Cali will provide a nice jump in Volt sales over the next few months. Of course, where can Volt sales go, but higher?
In all seriousness though, the Volt — thanks to those tax credits — isn’t a bad financial move if you’re willing to think long term. Add in the potential of much higher gas prices and now carpool lane access, and the Volt is a pretty tempting ride. In my opinion California car buyers should consider a Volt.
